Article • 7/30/2025 • 5 min read

On the Item Compliances Documents page, you can link multiple compliance documents (previously set up on the Compliance Documents page) to an item. These compliance documents will then default as sales compliance documents and purchase compliance documents in the order process for that item.


In the item compliance document, you can fill in more specific information about the compliance document, such as a request and document date.

For each document, you can specify if the document is only applicable to specific items and/or item attributes. The values are automatically inherited when assigning an existing compliance document to the item compliance document.
